Old soloist day

[straycat]

Found this at the guitar show today needs a bit of TLC but a real nice player.
Lots of wear and tear but I love well played guitars.

[Ward]

Kahler Steeler trem too the sustain block sits right against the route, looks to be original because the route is just a hair bigger than if it came with a floyd or JT-6.No mods visible so it looks to be what came on it.Floyd nut mounted thru the neck.
Build date 3/14/88
EMG 85 and 2 SA's
I was hoping the graphic was day glo but nope.
Need to get the pick up covers painted to match like the original would have been.
OHS G&G case.
My next Q is what are the roman numerals? is that 1988? I suck at roman numerals

It's supposed to be 1776, but looks like someone screwed it up and left out the D after the M.

Independence fail!

Apart from trying to celebrate your scandalous treachery to the motherland, its a bitchin' axe!
Maybe a new paint job though? You have the covers all ready for a new graphic to go on them too.

Or keep the paintjob. Let's see what happened of note in 1276...

January 21 – Pope Innocent V succeeds Pope Gregory X as the 185th pope.

February – The court of the Southern Song Dynasty of China and hundreds of thousands of its citizens flee from Hangzhou to Fujian and then Guangdong in an effort to escape an invasion by Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty.

March 9 – Augsburg becomes an Imperial Free City. Ravensburg also does in the same year.

June – King Rudolph I of Germany declares war on King Otakar II of Bohemia, a political rival; by November, Otakar II is forced to cede four important territories as demanded by the diet of Nuremberg in 1274.

June 14 – Remnants of the Song Chinese court in Fuzhou province conduct the coronation ceremony for the Prince Zhao Shi to become Emperor Duanzong of Song.

July 11 – Pope Adrian V (also referred to as Hadrian) succeeds Pope Innocent V as the 186th pope.

September 13 – Pope John XXI succeeds Pope Adrian V as the 187th pope, becoming the fourth man this calendar year to hold the office of pope.

Stefan Dragutin of Serbia becomes King of Serbia.

The foundation stone of the Minoritenkirche in Vienna is laid by King Otakar II of Bohemia.

Mamluk sultan Baibars conquers Al-Maris, previously part of Makuria, and annexes it into Egypt.

A severe 23-year drought begins to affect the Grand Canyon area, eventually forcing the agriculture-dependent Anasazi culture to migrate out of the region.

Cool guitar! Of all the things to learn on the JCF, I never thought it would be that there was 4 named popes in 1276!

[Hellbat]

I think it's awesome, date problems or not. Did you score a good deal on it?\

[Axewielder]

That's great, I'd leave it as-is! Well the steeler may have to go...

[DonP]

Well the steeler may have to go...

You aren't serious?
